Thermo Orion AquaMate 8000 [AQ8000] UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

These high quality, reliable spectrophotometers are designed to meet the needs of water and wastewater analysis laboratories and incorporate advanced features and functions for the ultimate flexibility in operation.

AquaMate spectrophotometers include over 260 preprogrammed methods for easy and convenient measurements using Orion AQUAfast, Merck, CHEMetrics or Hach chemistries. Preprogrammed methods can also be adapted for new chemistries or operators can create their own custom methods. The instruments allow a one point adjustment on any preprogrammed method to correct for variations in batch reagent chemistries. A wide variety of vials sizes can be used, including 10 mm square vials, 20 mm and 50 mm rectangular vials and an adjustable round vial holder that accommodates 13 mm, 16 mm and 24 mm round vials.

AquaMate instruments feature three USB connections, providing the options to store methods and data to a USB memory stick, transfer data to a computer and print hard copy data to an external printer. The instruments are compatible with ink jet and laser printers with HP PCL 5 or greater.

AquaMate spectrophotometers include performance verification tests that ensure wavelength accuracy and instrument functionality. In accordance with GLP and GMP, each verification report gives the time, date and instrument serial number. The built-in wavelength accuracy test is compatible with either the internal lamp or external calibrated standards.

The xenon lamp of the AquaMate 8000 UV-Vis spectrophotometer provides an internal standard for wavelength accuracy verification. To validate the instrument performance further, built-in test methods for stray light, noise and resolution are available.
